CentOS
Find out more about the CentOS Linux distribution and why it has become the OS of choice for several hosting companies.
CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for website hosting servers. It's one of the numerous Linux releases in existence, however what distinguishes it from all the others is the long-term support, which ensures that you'll always have a reliable and secure Operating System. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for ten years, which is much longer than with almost every other OS available. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, therefore in the event you experience any problem or have some questions, you are able to instantly get the data that you need. CentOS is widely known as among the best server Operating Systems, because it's very stable and protected, which makes it very reliable even if you host private information. Considering that it is open-source, you will be able to modify any part of it and personalize it according to your needs, not to mention that the total cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, since you won't have to pay license fees of any type.

CentOS in VPS Servers
You can pick CentOS for your new
VPS server through the signup process. We supply 32-bit and 64-bit versions, to give you the option to select the one which is more suitable for the apps that you would like to install and manage. CentOS supports a number of hosting Control Panels, so that you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, depending on what you'd like to do - to make a separate account for each and every domain name hosted on your server and even to start your very own reseller business, or to host all of your domain names together and control the entire server as one single account. You will also have the option to get your VPS without Control Panel if you need a machine with CentOS, yet without the additional software that comes with the Control Panels. In this way, you can easily set up web or database servers which are different from the default ones which we offer.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers
When you decide to obtain one of the
dedicated server plans that we supply, you are able to choose the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. As it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your website. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels that we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you are able to use the dedicated server for any kind of purpose - to host your personal websites in a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell web hosting plans to other people. You can also obtain a server without a Control Panel and install any custom-made software which you need, instead of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add our optional Managed Services bundle throughout the signup process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things which are part of the package.
